Perfect for any meal from brunch to dinner, frittatas are tasty, versatile and delicious!
This Spinach Red Pepper Frittata is easy to make and is sure to impress anyone sitting down at your table with its colorful array of healthy ingredients.
I used spinach in this recipe giving you a dose of potassium which can reduce your blood pressure (1). The red pepper is high in folate which is important for proper immune function, digestion, and regulating your mood (2). And finally the eggs give you both fat and protein – important nutrients for muscle growth, a healthy heart and brain function (3, 4).
You can get creative with the leftovers (if you have them). I love to use a slice as a sandwich filling, or serve it with a salad for a quick lunch or dinner.
Enjoy Rockstar!
